agreement in the gynzceum, placentas, ovules, fruits and seeds. Moreover, 
their relation, when coupled with the parallelism in their anatomical character, 
e.g. in the perforation of vessels”, becomes still more complete. Some resem- 
blanc2 to the Batidales is indicated by the dimerous gyneceum iti both 
Salicacess and Batidaces”. Further, the Salicales are regarded by some 
authors as comparable with the Myricales and with the Juglandales®. Now, 
take fruits and seeds as the criterion for comparison, then the Salicales should 
be taken far away from their present position and put close to the Parietales, 
Next, take into consideration for classification the absence of perianth in 
the Salicales, and you will find the latter series quite right in its present 
place near the Juglandales, Fagales®, Batidales or Myricales. 
Then, follow the Garryales” after Exenmr’s system. As to this series, our 
knowledge is too incomplete for an understanding of its relation to other series. 
Next, come the Myricales®. They are comparable with the Fagales, 
Salicales and Juglandales in this point or that. 
Here, ExGuer places the Balanopsidales®. This. series is somewhat allied 
to the Geraniales, ag is indicated by the agreement in the structure of the 
ovules of the Balanopsidacez and Euphorbiaces”. Consequently, its natural 
position is movable from this place to that, from proximity to the Myricaces 
far away to near the Euphorbiacem. 
Then, follow the Leitneriales. It is difficult to deny that they are related 
to the Rosales, when we consider the resemblance of the Leitneriacess™ and 
Hamawmelidacess in the resin-ducts in the medullary-sheath. 
Here, Eveter places the Juglandales. Their relation to the Myricales, 
Salicales and Verticillatz has already been stated. They are also allied to some 
extent to the Fagales, and Urticales. But, a greater resemblance is to be found in 
the Julianiales’”. The alternate, exstipulate, imparipinnate leaves and the resinifer-
